For example: A Kobra front with 250GTO headlamps and vents (Kobrarri).




The rear could be a modified Z300S (with a Lyonhart K style rear diffuser) and LED rear lights for example.





You could end up with many different mixes and have dozens of different models.


I like it - the rear end could use smart car rear lamps

thank you

Im envious of your skills

Thank you - I had the idea in my head but you have convinced me im going the right way with this.

By that photoshop it looks like your going the right way with it. I think it should look well.

The fluted front does look nice with lights flowing into it. Almost e type

The raise over the rear wings give it some nice hips too

I keep looking at this version of the z300 rear I have even found an easy way way to do it
Grr I need to choose a design and stick with it

How about mating the SWB and the Zagato front end, painting it the right colour and some nice jag wires?

13 Jul 2015, 9:11am
Very nice, looking more like an Evanta GT or Zagato Aston.
13 Jul 2015, 1:02pm
I did speak to Chris about doing just that.

But the door panels and door handles mean that its not as quick a job.

I do not have anywhere to build - but I can bolt the front and rear on in my car park

This would be a rather nice car to have built, saw it down at Goodwood a couple of years back. It's an MPH Jaguar

Nice. Love the grey paint with red leather.

Ive been looking at lots of updated cobra models

I like this sketch it would fit the z3's proportions

15 Jul 2015, 9:10pm
Are you sure thats not a sketch of a new mini cooper s soft top?
15 Jul 2015, 9:41pm
it has mini grille shape but its proportions are different
maybe a mini that's had 8" sectioned out of the body


The shape is purposeful like the cobras
and read back through this thread we have discussed citreons merging with 911 so im sure we can all see past the mini similarity

What are the next generation of donor cars likely to be . I'm sure the BMW Z4 is on the cards There must be others coming up to 10 years old or so and affordable with bolt on / off panels.

Whatch this space! Just waiting for the brittish summer to end and im sure they will be a z4 in the tribute workshop.... ;)

Chris has an e type body
That's not too difficult to mod to look like the update.

I do love the retro curves on a modern theme

The Lyonheart K, previously known as the Growler E type is one of my favourite cars. I am sure you could create something similar mixing together several of Tributes kits. (A352, Z3000S, GTO)
